Very little butter la Imported. Ill Health Is More Expensive Than an) Cure. This country is now filled with peo ple who migrate across the continent in all directions seeking that which gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths of them are Buffering from throat and lung trouble or chronic catarrh resulting from neglected colds, and spending fortunes vnluly trying to regain lost health. Could every sufferer but undo the past and cure that first neglected cold, all this lOrrOW, pain, anxiety and expense could huve been avoided. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is fa mous for its cures of colds, and can always be depended upon. Cse it and the most Hwrlous dlseusea may be avoided. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. AID FOR FARMERS' WIVES. Und? 8am'a Extension of Institute Idea ? Help For Women. Extension of the farmers' Institute Idea to Include the farmers' wives Is the latest development of the policy of paternal solicitude for the great American agriculturist as pursued t?y the department of agriculture. The betterment of the home surroundings of the farmer, with particular regard for the advantages of good housekeep ing, wholesome cooking, the observ ance of the laws of sanitation, the beautifying of the home Inside ami our. the economical administration or the women's side of the business of farming, pure water, ventilation and an endless variety of minor Items which will tend to make the life of the farmer's wife and daughters more attractive are the purpose of this new division of the department*. Professor John Hamilton, formerly state secretary of agriculture of Penn sylvania, Is at the head of the division of farmers' Institutes. The work of the women's Institutes is perhaps broader In its scope than that for the men. It Is certainly more varied. In twenty-one states of the Union they have begun the work al ready, und within a year or so every agricultural state in the Union will have organized institutes for the wom en folk. The department of agriculture has just Issued Its first pamphlet on tin* subject of the farmers' institute for women, it Is hoped that (his will be but a forerunner of much more along the name lines. It Is the hope of the department authorities that they will be able to put In circulation a compre hensive series of bulletins, similar to those in regular circulation on general farm subjects, which will prove ol real interest and great value to the farm women of America?really worth while treatises on the art ami science of living and being happy amid ideal furm surrounding" NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA If Van Have it, head This Letter.

Arctic Circle. What la perhaps the most remarka ble farm In the world Is located In Alaska on a small tributary of (be Tauana river, only 125 milt s south "f the arctic circle. It is owned ami managed by J. P. Karsbner. Kurshuer a few years ago was engaged In hunt ing gold when he came across some thing which astonished him very much. It was a little stream of bol water. lie traced the stream to a spring, which was likewise hot. and It presently became Obvious that a considerable area was underlaid by such springs. Promptly deciding that this was a discovery more profitable than a gold mine, Karsbner gave up prospecting, obtained a quantity ol vegetable seeds of various kinds and , started in to raise garden truck. The temperature in that region sometimes falls to 05 degrees below zero In winter, but a natural system of hot water heating, free of cost, was Just the thing for truck gardening near the arctic circle, where potatoes have a market value of LT, cents a pound and other vegetables bring prices In proportion. The Karsbner farm occupies a fiat area with a convenient slant toward the south. Hot water oozing out of tin' .ground forms three small streams, which empty into the nearby river. The warm spring extends over a dis tance of about a mile. and. as the owner says, "the heat In the ground has to be felt to lie believed." lie adds: "I have never seen vegetables grow as they do here. The place has ] a climate of Its own. Often there Is no frost when it Is freezing every where else." The hot water farmer has seventy hens. lie has also six tine pigs. His crop of potatoes this year will be loo tons, at 350 bushels to the acre. To bacco has made a great growth. To matoes are a success. Squashes of several kinds are grown, some of them weighing as much as fifty-three pounds. Karsbner gets $1 apiece for his muskmelous. This hut water market garden must be a wonder in its way. but it Is doubt ful whether Its owner deserves as much credit as belongs to Crunk I.. Howard, United States commissioner at Co Id foot, Alaska, sixty miles north of the arctic circle, who in the raising of potatoes and other vegetables for market gets over the difficulty of tin.' climate by starting them in tin cans in the house. When the weather be comes warm enough he transplants them to the open. Mr. Howard's market garden Is the most successful to be found north of the arctic circle. lie protects his young cabbages from frost on cold nights by covering them with beer bot ties, the bottoms and necks of which ' have, been knocked oil'. In these "jack OtS," as he calls them, they llourish, and by June 10. when they have grown 6Ufflcicntly to till the bottles, they arc uncovered, in the (it'St week of Sep tember they are harvested. In central Florida pineapples are largely grown nowadays under sheds of lattice. The e sheds, elevated on posts at a height of about seven feet from the ground usually, in some In stances cover us much as ten acres of land. Their main object is to protect the growing fruit against frost, though it la claimed dial pineapples raised under them are more delicate in tex ture ami of superior IIa vor. In market gardens near Boston inel- j ons are grown in slings so that they ! will ripen evenly. Muskmelous are grown on arbors, each fruit being sup- ' ported by a piece of board about a ? foot square, on which it is turned ev< ery day or two. Strawberries are grown in pots in greenhouses, the ? ins tors of fruit being supported by wires. BO that they shall not touch the earth. WANTED All kind of furs, Mink, Musk rat and others.
